"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards".
-Author: Anatole France (1844-1924), French critic, writer
My take-out is that a good teacher, mentor or coach should not just be to fill a students mind with knowledge.
Rather, like a farmer who fallows and fertises ground in preparation for the growing of a crop, the teacher must prepare the mind and attitude of the student to become a life-time learner.
